Video: Ohio State's Joey Bosa nails standing backflip

Remember Braylon Edwards’ standing backflip following Michigan’s 2004 win over Minnesota? It was impressive. Edwards went on to do an “easier” flip in the NFL. It’s one thing for a receiver to do a backflip, but it’s a completely different thing when a defensive lineman does it. In a J.J. Watt-esque gym video, Ohio State’s Joey Bosa made a standing backflip look way too easy. Update: the video is from two years ago but was just posted.

Here’s the video of Bosa making you look even less athletic than you thought:

Even before this video, Bosa was a freak athlete who most considered one of the Big Ten’s top pass-rushers after registering 7.5 sacks as a freshman. This only solidifies it and gives opposing offensive lines and quarterbacks more to worry about when they face Ohio State.
